[QUOTE="JimD, post: 1215553, member: 65222"] [COLOR="white"].[/COLOR] Veteran Scopers, Under 300 yards life is so simple isn’t it? Zero your scope to some nice Maximum Point Blank Range, walk around putting your crosshairs on stuff and shooting it. (...or not depending on a few things, but you get my drift don't you?) But over 300 yards it all gets a little more complicated. For what it’s worth I (me personally) am concerned about shooting in the 300 to 600 or 700 yard range. So... in broad strokes, there’s two things we have to do 1- determine the range of our target 2- somehow figure out how to “aim” the rifle to deliver the bullet on the target So... 1- How do you guys range your target? Some sort of mil dot or m.o.a. ranging reticle? Or... LASER rangefinder? Are their other ways? Then... 2- How do you orient your rifle to that range? Some sort of BDC reticle? Or HORUS type reticle? Or we be dialing in values via the turrets? Or... Trying to think my way through some stuff here. Thought I’d see if I could learn how you guys were doing these things. Much obliged, James [COLOR="white"].[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
